If you have one cubesat, you'll probably use Starlink (once operational) instead of your own ground station.

Is starlink going to work for third party satellite communication? Somehow I assumed that the antennas would be directional towards earth. Also the proposed ground stations are said to be pizza box sized, a bit large for a cubesat if they can't be miniaturized.
Good question. I reached out to a contact at SpaceX to get more info.
